The Twelve Days Of Christmas: Sorry! International Edition
November 30th, 2010 at 7:57 pm by Cranky
Move your piece, make your peace! Designed in university lounges and perfected by entertainment think-tankers, Sorry! dares you to be strong by being weak! Who needs American Exceptionalism when you’re contrite in Cairo, loved in Luxembourg and sainted in Central America?
Work your way around the world collecting goodwill tokens and reset buttons from “friends you haven’t met yet”. Sure they may continue attacking you and building nukes like no tomorrow. But you will ultimately win because you won their hearts!
Not available in the US
The player can win by collecting just some of these great apologies:
In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe‘s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.
My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.
Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.
And many more!!

Regarding the Sheryl Crow link…
One of the sad things about my conservative enlightenment was discovering and uncovering the fact that so many of my favorite artists are bat-shit stupid.
What now do I do with my Sheryl Crow and John Mellencamp CDs?

You and I agree about music, Nigel (except for your love of truly awful 70′s music). I think we would both hold our noses and enjoy the tunes.
